Atnafu Brhane, Digital Security Trainer, Program Director at CARD and Vice-chair of Network for Digital Rights in Ethiopia has published Digital Security Guideline. The Guideline is developed for journalists and human rights defenders and is prepared in three languages: Amharic, Afaan Oromo and English.

This digital security guideline, developed in three languages – Afaan Oromo, Amharic and English – aims to empower human rights defenders and journalists with the skills to protect their presence online.
